- The '91 'Skins were an opening night sensation, demolishing the visiting Lions, 45-0, on this Sunday Night Football season opener at joyous RFK Stadium. Without Barry Sanders (who never beat the 'Skins anyway, just sayin') the Lions were a toothless bunch. Only a merciful kneel down at the 1-yard line kept the score from being worse. The '91 Super-Skins never looked back after this win, rolling through the season from beginning to end as the undisputed best team in the NFL.
This re-issue comes from a significantly better recording that the original highlights (posted a year ago), HD captured and re-edited with 11 minutes of additional footage. Enjoy!

A great time to be a Redskin fan. Miss those days.
An act of real class by Joe Gibbs to kneel it at the goal line.
Agreed.
And Detroit still went 12-4 on the season and was the No. 2 seed reaching the NFC Championship game, who'd they lose to? This very same team, in the same venue. Redskins went 14-2 on the season and scored 485 points while only allowing 224 points, 1st in Scoring 2nd on defense, the Eagles that year is the only team that had a better defense but they missed the playoffs at 10-6
41 -10 in the championship game
@michaelleroy9281 thank you brother
The Lions, nay, the entire NFL ran into a buzzsaw that year in the form of the braves on the warpath. The perfect storm of a team and because of the onset of free agency 2 years later there will never be a better one.
Hail to the Redskins! Imperishable Shame and failure to the safe spaces (“commanders”).
When we were kings......
I can remember jus about everyone thought Detroit would beat us in this season opener...Because we were 1-3 in preseason..It's laughable how your judged from preseason
GIBBS ALWAYS used preseason to judge talent, so it wasn't about having a winning pre season.
I remember clearly how people were panicking over the preseason, fans, media, even Mr. Cooke, it was crazy. But watching those preseason games, we saw the first team offense and defense dominate anyway.
This was when Washington was a powerhouse.... Cant wait to get back to this
What a September 5-0 and 3-0 at RFK and all by shutouts.
Redskins 45-Lions 0
Redskins 34-Cards 0
Redskins 23-Eagles 0
#HTTR 4 LIFE 💛💪
This was the Redskins when they were at their height, can't wait for Josh Harris to make them this great again.
I love how the Lions D is high fiving on tackled after a Skins 1st down.
I’m not even a Redskins fan, and the ‘91 squad has a case for being the best single-season team ever. The Hogs were at their best, the defense was rock solid, and Rypien was in an absolute zone that year. Yes, I think they could even beat the vaunted ‘85 Bears.
totally agree. For one season they were in a zone. Amazingly they allowed only 9 sacks the entire season!
Redskins are awesome great logo uniforms we beat em in 83 sb but i always saw them as an elite team as a kid
TNT Nitro
In my opinion, Brian Mitchell is the best kick returner in NFL history just look up his stats should be in the hall of fame
As a Lions fan, why did I watch any of this?😂
Hail, to the Redskins!
Hail, Victory!
Braves, on the Warpath!
Fight! For old D.C!
Run or pass and score we want a lot more!
Beat ’em swamp ’em touchdown let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on, till you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton, RAH! RAH! RAH!
Hail, to the Redskins!
Hail, Victory!
Braves, on the Warpath!
Fight! For old D.C!
I remember watching these gamers when I was a kid. I was in 8th grade for this one. Never was nervous, I EXPECTED them to win and they did. It's almost like a curse growing up like that now to watch the politically correct expansion team commanders stink it up every Sunday.
The Lions didn't win in Washington until 2013
Technically not in Washington.
Why was Barry not playing
HTTR ❤
Just like 2023. In 1991 the lion were massively overrated and lost when the faced a good team
